PLEASE help with dbshut/dbstart I READ PAST POSTS

I am struggling with these 2 scripts (dbstart and dbshut) for our Oracle 8.0.4 enterprise server running on Solaris 2.6. I copied the dbshut script to the /etc/rc0.d and named it K02oracle I copied the dbstart script to the /etc/rc2.d and named it S98oracle

My problem is that whether I try to run it as root or oracle in either rc direcotry OR $ORACLE_HOME/bin it does absolutely nothing. No errors, no feedback or anything. But I know it does not shutdown or startup when it supposed to.

Any help would be appreciated. I have seen cases where permissions must be set etc.. but I dont know if that would apply in my case.
